Hello and good evening,

I have been dealing with a family emergency for a couple of days and I'm not confident that I'll be able to have the next chapter in a finalized form by tomorrow. I'm working when I can, but I also don't want to rush to get something out if I can't give it the attention it deserves. If I can't get it out tomorrow, I'll aim to have an extra upload day next week.

Tangentially, upload times have been a bit sporadic lately, which I know can be annoying. My target is to have a chapter published by 8:33 am Eastern since that's when chapters go up on RR. I usually get them out ahead of that target, but this past month has been a series of peaks and valleys that have disrupted my rhythm. I've been dealing with some chronic health issues (boo), I got married (yay), day job has gotten more demanding (neutral react), and now have the present difficulties going on. Doing my best to get back in the swing and get ahead of things. I do not plan on continuing to drop chapters at random times during upload days. I appreciate everyone's patience while I get everything situated.

Tangentially relatedly, I am heading out of the country for the first 2 weeks of June. I'll probably be making a dedicated post about this sometime in the next week or two, depending on how things are going with the chapters. My goal is to maintain the upload schedule, but based on the recent disruptions I am not sure that is realistic. If it turns out I am unable to keep things running, I'm thinking I will pause the subs (need to figure out how that works, ha).

Anyway, thanks for everyone for being a part of the community. Cheers!

I utterly do not care about specific upload times. It's nice when it's the right day, but between time zones and stuff, I frankly do not care what time of the day it is when a chapter comes out. Even the day of upload itself is not a hard and fast rule - but that might be because I'm generally not that impatient. I don't mind waiting a bit longer. There's always something else to handle, some other story to read, some stuff to write. I'll be fine. Most people will too. Don't pause your billing over this, Patreon is dumb and will mess things up for at least some of us, which means you'll be busy for hours, for days, trying to fix it, which will cut further into your writing schedule, which is the opposite of what you need. Fuck that. :thumbsup:

Also: We're patrons. Not customers. Our expectations ought to be tempered thus.

Regarding your June break. I remember Shirtaloon recently having issues with the patreon pause payment system, so much so he stopped using it. I would advise just giving people a heads up then they can decide to pause or continue supporting if they want to.
